2016 TechChange Summer Fellowship: Coding For #SocialGood

TechChange is
excited to announce a summer fellowship program for recent graduates and rising
college juniors and seniors.

The fellowship will provide practical training in
web development as well as a unique exposure to a range of applications and
organizations using technology totackle a variety of global challenges — from
creating prosthetic limbs with a 3D printer to combating malaria with mobile
devices.

As a fellow you
will spend three months designing and implementing a web development project
related to education, technology, and social good. TechChange staff will
provide training, mentorship, and a series of events to support you in this
process.

An event series on
a range of topics related to technology and social change

A $2,000 monthly
stipend for 3 months

A round-trip plane
ticket to DC from a location within the US

Support with job
placement at the conclusion of the fellowship

Who we think will
be a great fit:

You’re someone who
could spend your summer working at a top tech company, but making a difference
in the world is more important to you. You have a solid foundation in web
development or object-oriented programming, but you’re looking to expand your
skills and understand how they might be applied to projects that address
disease, hunger, unemployment, poverty, natural disasters, and other pressing
issues. You love to learn new things and challenge yourself. You wake up every
day excited to be part of a creative, collaborative community that is building
something meaningful. And you want to have a little fun along the way.

Eligibility:

Be a current
junior, senior, or a recent graduate

Have at least one
year of experience in computer science or web development

Possess an interest
in international relations, international development, humanitarian work, and
social good
